Every dish we ordered was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality. The flavors were exceptional, and each bite was a pleasure. Whether you’re a steak lover or prefer other options, Chicago Cut has something for everyone. Overall, my experience at Chicago Cut Steakhouse was outstanding. The combination of a stunning view, attentive service from Matt, and delectable food makes it a must-visit for anyone in the area. I can’t wait to return for another memorable meal

This was my first time dining at RPM and it will not be my last!! The food, the service, the ambiance, all 10s!!!! But the food!!! OMG! What I like about this outstanding restaurant is they give you good portions of absolutely delicious food! And an elegant, first class dining ambiance with VIP service. I think my server’s name was Matty. Good date place, great place to dine w friends or a special occasion. Highly recommend! My only big complaint….the bar area was filled with gorgeous women!!! NEED MORE MEN PLEASE!! @RPM how about adding a cigar bar to attract the fellas??

Love it here! Our first round of pita was cold and they quickly fixed that. The classic hummus is very pricey and there wasn’t much in the bowl but it is so good! The almond and garlic spread is superb. Waiter was awesome.

Dom the moment e arrived we knew we’d picked a great place for our first night in Chicago. We had a mocktail and a glass of red whilst waiting for our table. Lovely decor and ambience. Our waiter was very helpful and talked us through the menu. Food was outstanding. We had calamari, fried shrimp and crab linguine. They gave us a complimentary slice of key lime pie. Oh my god this dessert was amazing. We were so full after dinner we were going to skip dessert and this arrived!! It would have been rude not to eat it. The whole experience has made a great start for our 4 nights stay.

Sushi-San was an unexpected treat! The menu isn’t huge, but the quality of rolls, apps, and other dishes is really great. I had one of the best bites of my year here, as did my husband.
